Simply not true. I have been considering to use Web2Pop on my old Yahoo account. Since I now have the time and after reading your message, I DL'd Web2Pop.exe and gave it a try. I had problems at first. Why? Basically you have to be able to login SUCCESSFULLY from a web page 1st before using Web2Pop. After I logged in successfully from a web page, then Web2Pop worked flawlessly. What I think happened is Yahoo changed the URL for the email login and changed some of the login procedures. I tried numerous times to login by using IE's favorite for Yahoo mail. I could never login successfully, but I could get to my email by logging into My Groups 1st, then going to email. I thought this was strange because I used the same password for both my email and groups page. Why no error when entering groups versus email? Anyhow as far as procedures go, I think Yahoo flags the email account after an unsuccessful attempt, and requires verification with another request for the password. If I'm correct, then this is what probably messes up Web2Pop. What I did is go to the http://www.yahoo.com/ main web page, and clicked on the "Email" icon at the top right of the page. Once to the login page I chose "secure" login, and save the URL to my favorites. I can login to my Yahoo email successfully everytime, and use Web2Pop flawlessly on the install into the 1st partition installed. I won't mention that I'm having problems getting Web2Pop working on the 2nd partition installed. -- Best regards, Greg Strong TB! v1.62 Beta/17 on Windows XP Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
